Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
white to light beige crystalline powder | [Uses]
Citraconic acid is an important raw material and intermediate used in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and dyestuff fields. | [Uses]
Citraconic acid is used in synthetic or copolymer oils,
in treating metals for adhesion of polyolefins, and in
thermoplastics. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Citraconic acid is a dicarboxylic acid consisting of maleic acid having a methyl substituent at the 2-position. It has a role as a human metabolite. It is a dicarboxylic acid and a dicarboxylic fatty acid. It is functionally related to a maleic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a citraconate(2-). | [storage]
Store at -20°C | [Purification Methods]
Steam distil and crystallise it from EtOH/ligroin. [Beilstein 2 H 768, 2 I 309, 2 II 652, 2 III 1938, 2 IV 2230.] |
